Adding a self-serve option should expand its usage among smaller advertisers without having to significantly grow its sales team. (Update: Actually there’s a new filing reporting revenue of $104 million and a net loss of $287,000 for last year.)

It also highlights a “hyper-local targeting feature,” where advertisers can draw a virtual fence around their desired area, and only deliver ads to users in that area.
The ad network already offered a self-service option for smaller app developers, called mmDev. Millennial says the new mMedia ads will be available to developers through the same portal.
